When I export an issue list to Excel in the "Original Estimate" column I get 28800 for 8 hours. Any way to easily format the content into something useful? Thanks

Add a new scripted field that converts the Original Estimate to whatever type of representation you want and use that in the Excel export

What about adding a formula to the excel document so it converts the value from seconds to hours?
